The Analytical Concepts in Forensic Chemistry Series has been written with the undergraduate and postgraduate student in mind. The emphasis in each book is placed upon the understanding of a specific analytical technique that is used in forensic chemistry disciplines.

This Revision Guide will help you to do that in a planned way, topic by topic. Use this book as the cornerstone of your revision and don’t hesitate to write in it — personalise your notes and check your progress by ticking off each section as you revise.

This text is designed to teach you how to carry out quantitative analysis of physical phenomena important to chemical professionals. In the chemical engineering curriculum, this course is typically taught in the junior year.

Gas-liquid two-phase flow occurs in safety valve calculations in the process industry. In order to size the safety valves reliably, the pressure drop calculations of the two-phase flow needs to be accurate. Two-phase flow is affected by many variables such as the viscosity.

The purpose of this handbook is to make readily available in a limited number of pages some of the more important chemical, biological, physical, safety, and mathematical data and concepts that are fundamental to the
practice of the chemical engineering profession.

The thermochemical route of biomass gasification produces a syngas rich in hydrogen and carbon monoxide. The syngas is then converted into methanol, and the methanol is converted to gasoline using the methanol-to-gasoline (MTG) process first developed by Exxon Mobil.

U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has promoted the development of ethanol and other liquid fuels from lignocellulosic feedstocks by sponsoring programs in fundamental and applied research that aim to advance biomass conversion technologies.

This handbook, compiled by Ethyl, aims to provide a single source for summaries of the most widely used specifications for crankcase, drivetrain, industrial and tractor oils, together with the associated bench, rig and engine test procedures.

In the chemical and other physical processing industries and the food and biological processing industries, many similarities exist in the manner in which the entering feed materials are modified or processed into final materials of chemical and biological products.

The major goal of this textbook is to teach students to analyze dynamic chemical processes and develop automatic control strategies to operate them safely and economically. My experience is that students learn best with immediate simulation-based reinforcement of basic concepts.

The purpose of this handbook is to facilitate, within the DOE, the performance of chemical process hazards analyses (PrHAs) as required under the PSM Rule. It provides basic information for the performance of PrHAs, and should not be considered a complete resource on PrHA methods.

Chemistry is fundamental to understanding the world around us, simply because everything is made of chemicals. From planets to cosmetics, and microbes to bridges, chemistry underpins how materials behave.

The O-ring has become the world’s most popular and versatile seal due to its simple shape, low space requirements, and its availability in a vast selection of sizes and compounds to meet every industrial requirement.

Heat-Transfer Calculations opens with eight brief industrial heat-transfer calculations. While they are short, especially when compared to the calculations that make up the bulk of this handbook, these opening calculations are not trivial.

The purpose of this chapter is mainly to demonstrate how to setup a shared folder on the computer lab network, how to optionally set up one from your home, as well as to discuss some of the more pertinent issues regarding managing and securing the integrity of your computer that are useful to know.
